I'm afraid I have to leave this quote tree infact since this person obviously cannot follow the above train. The point of contention is in bold, but I'll paste it here so you can read it again. "Developers that have had there hands on both have said there is a noticable performance difference when they start developing on them." This was the starting position of Xenostar. Then we have Darth Tigris following with: "What developers? People keep making statements like that with no proof" This is what I'm responding to, precise metrics are completely unnecessary to this particular conversation. It's a deviation of the thread OP, perhaps attempt to understand what is being contested before chiming in with obsolete statements. It's exceedingly tiring addressing the posts of overtly defensive fans of a certain ilk. |
So the first link was from an Xbox developers that says Sony has the better specs. Here is a quote from that link (basically the article if you read it)
"“The facts are on paper, the PS4 has better specs, and the most that you can debate is by how much,” said the refreshingly candid employee. “What I can tell you is that I have played Forza Motorsport 5,Killer Instinct, and Ryse on the Xbox One, and they look as good as the games that I play on a high-end PC. Ryse reminded me of Darksiders II.”"
The second link is from a developer who is not making a X1 game which invalidate your bolded point. You bolded points says developers who has worked on both X1 and PS4 games. The developer in the second link is stating specs not first hand experience which is very clear from the article.
The third one is from another developer that pretty much validated Albert point. Here is a quote from the article
"We asked Avalanche’s chief technical officer Linus Blomberg how the two consoles compare. “It’s difficult to say, as it’s still early days when it comes to drivers,” he told us. “With each new driver release, performance increases dramatically in some areas. The PlayStation 4 environment is definitely more mature currently, so Microsoft has some catching up to do. But I’m not too concerned about that as they traditionally have been very good in that area. The specs on paper would favour the PS4 over the Xbox One in terms of raw power, but there are many other factors involved so we’ll just have to wait and see a bit longer before making that judgment.”
If anything, the only thing you did was provide more proof of what Albert is stating instead of anything else.
